KIKO: lips haul

Sunday, 20 May 2018

Hello everyone! It was a while since I talked about KIKO. As soon as I opened the blog I wrote a lot of posts on this brand, but I noticed that over the years the quality has been lowered and the price has been raised. I received these two lip products as a gift and what better opportunity to test their products and give you my opinion.

This lipstick has pleasantly impressed me. The colour is the 02 antique rose. The particular thing about this lipstick that I liked a lot is its semi-matte finish. The application is easy thanks to the creamy texture, but after a few seconds the lipstick dries and reveals a beautiful matte finish. I had already tried some matte lipstick from KIKO: the velvet matt and I liked them a lot.

This lip pencil is very soft and creamy, but I find that the application is not uniform. If I had to choose a lip pencil, the best ones are those by Neve Cosmetics. And you? What is the best lip pencil you've ever tried? The thing that most amazed me, in fact, is that the shop assistant has recommended this combo: pencil and lipstick. Now, are you aware that 90s lips with the dark liner are terrible? Are you aware that the colors are extremely different? I don't know about you but I hardly trust the shop assistants. Once (not from KIKO) they made me try a foundation and they said "it's slightly dark but it's fine" I had an orange patch on my neck. But where do I go around like a Oompa Loompa?
